Never tried the heated coats but did buy a pair of battery heated wool boot length socks once. The socks were a disappointment as far as keeping my feet from getting cold sitting still on a deer stand and the batteries ( C or D cell, I forget which) didn't last very long, either.

I've heard of some using a sleeping bag to stay warm when hunting from a tree stand or ground blind. I know they make specially designed sleeping bag type deals for hunters in camo and orange now.

I do. I have a set of short suspenders sewn to the top of an old warm sleeping bag and bring it up under my coat. Works quite well.

I have been using one of these heated lumbar belts for a few years. It is an upgrade from my old system of putting hand warmers down the back of my shirt. The battery lasts for about half a day on low. It doesn't keep me totally warm but does make long sits more tolerable. IMO, it was worth the money. L L Bean - Heated Lumbar Belt

Too much technology to depend on for me. I too tried those battery power socks and batteries fail when you need them the most in cold weather. Case in point, I was out scouting today and wanted to take a picture with my phone and the battery puked out at 29 degrees even in my pocket. Years ago I spent some bucks to get a full mega down filled Eddie Bauer Kara Korm parka and pant set because it is the same outfit that you see on those guys climbing those high cold mountains. Wisconsin doesn't get as cold as Mount Everest, but I've never once regretted spending the money to get really good cold weather hunting gear. If I can stay in my stand way longer than the guy with the sweat shirt and blue jeans and he starts walking around to keep warm, he becomes a driver for me and I'll get the deer that he stirs up. That puffy down stuff squishes down nicely, doesn't weigh much and fits in a big pack for an all day hunt.
My other auto is a .45

I have one and it does a good job at keeping your core warm,hands as well.
The one i have uses the smaller batteries but i got the adapter that lets me use my m-18 batteries that i use for my drills and grinder.
While they are a little bulky they last a long time.

My wife bought me a heated jacket last season and it worked very well.
The brand was Gyde Supply Co, off Ebay and naturally it is Chinese.
There are 3 panels that provide heat, one large panel across the shoulder blades and 2 more panels either side of the chest.
There are 4 settings with the lowest rated to last up to 8 hours. It did this.
I found the lowest setting was adequate to take the bite out of the cold and after a few hours I was able to turn it off.
The price was around $75 and it was money well spent. I will use it again this year as we are already into the low 20's and a bit more with another week to go before gunpowder is permitted in the deer woods.
When truth is ignored, it does not change an untruth from remaining a lie.
